Bleeding the system

These brake bleeders from PCL are said to make light work of bleeding and refilling brake systems on all types of vehicle. They can be used quickly by one person and can also be used to bleed other closed fluid systems such as the clutch. The product works by drawing fluid from the bleed nipple, enabling either bleeding or full replacement of fluid in the system. They operate on a working pressure of 6-12 bar (87-174 psi), with air consumption of 180 l/min (6.4 cfm) at 8 bar.
